A friend asked for this recipe, so I thought I'd go ahead and share it with all of you! Enjoy! What ya need: 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil 1, 10-ounce, aged center-cut beef tenderloin 1 large shallot, peeled and chopped 1/2 cup of red wine, nothing too sweet 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, chilled Kosher salt, to taste Ground black pepper, to taste Ok, so: Preheat your oven to 450ºF. In a heavy, oven-safe pan, heat your olive oil over high-heat until it almost reaches the smoking point. You don't want the oil to smoke, but you want it very hot. As it heats, season your beef with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, brown each side of the beef in the pan. Transfer the pan to your oven and roast for 10-15 minutes.

Pour all but a small amount of the juices from the pan and ...

Family Chicken Soup

Having lived in many a situation with dozens of roommates over the past few years, I have grown to learn one thing; the strength of a relationship between friends is often tested through co-existence in a common space. This is a quick, hearty soup dedicated to all of those friends I’ve lived with who I now am honored to consider brothers. This is a feel-good recipe for those feel-good moments. It also works great as a great pre-study meal. Ingredients: 1 medium chicken breast (cut into chunks) 10 ounces of chicken broth 10 ounces of water 2 teaspoons of uncooked rice 1 egg ½ stick butter or margarine ½ teaspoon ground black pepper ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon lemon juice Ok, so: In a medium sized pot, or saucepan if you wish to use such terminology, over medium heat, throw in the butter, salt and pepper. Allow the butter to melt and mix the contents of the pot. Place the chunks of chicken into the butter carefully, as to ensure no butter spatters onto you...
